Thanks for the reply Kevin. I checked the bios and everything is ok there. The audio shows input in the Nvidia Mixer just no output, tried headphones instead of the speakers, but no sound.
I may just have to put in an add in sound card. Somehow fried the output I guess.
Now I'll have to go thru the hassle of disabling the onboard sound so it don't conflict with the new card. oh boy!
